...12%-40% on reward statement. But you will get 3% of bonus at the end of year 😆. 2) they deduct insurance premium from salary. Before joining ask for high pay . Performance doesn't matter here for promotion .only good connection with managers important 😂. Lots of politics . Be ready to work on weekends.no personal life . 1 source working on multiple projects. Even If any task get delayed due to multiple project assignment, they gone blame you only . Your health is not important. You die but you have to complete your work.
